Thrown overboard and abandoned! Kathrin’s ordinary life turns upside down when Taliban militants text her, demanding ransom for her soldier-husband, Justin, and threatening his execution. Without proof of life, the army won’t negotiate and declares him missing in action. That means Kathrin’s lifelong dream of having a family is shattered.

Her depression and anxiety are eased when Glenn and Beth McKlain invite Kathrin to join them on a tour of Ireland. She joyfully accepts and looks forward to spending a restful time with her friends. However, their first few days are anything but restful. The group no sooner arrives in Belfast when the shop belonging to Glenn’s family explodes into flames.

Glenn’s cousin, Shay, is a police officer at the scene. He blames his Catholic enemy, Callum, for this terrorist act and demands vengeance. Shay and his profession do not impress Kathrin, but she can’t seem to get away from Glenn’s cousin. They are together when their car overturns and careens into a canyon. Shay’s prejudiced eyes begin to open when his “enemy,” Callum, tends his wounds. Kathrin’s heart also begins to soften toward Shay.

Just when Kathrin believes the worst is behind her, Callum’s brother, blinded by his own prejudice, sets off a chain of events that find Kathrin and Shay battling for their lives against the frigid sea and ruthless drug traffickers. Soon, they find themselves lost and friendless in a foreign country. Will Kathrin live long enough to realize she is falling in love with Shay?

Trapped is book three, the final book, of The Taken Trilogy. In book one, The Captive, Beth, Emily, and Kathrin are held hostage. Each book is about one of the three women and their lives after their abduction. The author, Theresa Wise, delights in bringing to life dramatic new adventures that will touch your heart.
